Join DigiEduHack 2025 to explore digital education solutions

About the DigiEduHack initiative 

The Digital Education Hackathon (DigiEduHack) is an EU initiative that aims to encourage grassroots innovation, collaboration and creativity and to drive positive change in digital education. The event consists of a series of 24-hour hackathons held over ten days, taking place in Europe and beyond.  

Launched in 2019, the initiative is an important part of the Digital Education Action Plan 2021-2027, and also contributes to the objectives of the European Digital Education Hub. This year’s edition takes place on 7-16 November 2025, under the theme ‘Rethinking education in the age of digital skills’.
